and professor turley got caught by congressman dan goldman in the george santos like moment, trying tor congressman goldman made the point that jonathan turley has never worked and in government. jonathan turley immediately insisted that he was an intern, somewhere in the government, way back when. and then he claimed that he worked for the house of representatives. when the republicans in the house of representatives engaged him as an outside lawyer. that would be like a lawyer saying, i was a member of the mafia because they hired me as a defense council in one of their murder trials. the two former fbi agents both agreed that the fbi field offices in cities around the country are these centers are of procedural integrity compared to the horrible culture in the washington office of the fbi. never mind the new york city field office has recently witnessed the arrest and indictment of a former high ranking fbi official in that office who was accused of taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash while still on the job from foreign sources and then went on to work for the russian al

joining us now is new york congressman dan goldman.n advance good luck on this committee and what is the play book for democrats? we already have indications republicans are going to use this committee to launch all manner of questionable inquiries. what's the play book that you can use to effectively stop the worst -- the most adverse effects and narratives? >> well, you're right, alex, the breadth of the jurisdiction of this subcommittee is really stunning including having the authority to investigate ongoing criminal investigations, which is a very scary thought because of course the department of justice must keep confidential their ongoing investigations, but why do they want to do that? well, there's several ongoing investigates of donald trump, but there also are ongoing investigates including the january 6th insurrection related to republican members of the house. and i think what we are going to have to do on this committee is recenter this conversation around our democratic institutions, the rule of law, and the foundations o

that was jim jordan responding to democratic congressman dan goldman who was trying to basically either jordan's bluff during yesterday's hearing for the so-called sub committee on the weaponization of the federal government. and the so-called dozens and dozens of alleged fbi agents, dozen and dozens, not a dozen, but dozens and dozens. who have apparently shared, quote, the truth with republicans and republicans only and so far there are no notes from dozens of interviews. wow. it was just one of the many heated moments from democrats yesterday. frustrated with what they called the tinfoil hat committee that serves as fodder for fox news audiences. the gop list of grievances does not include what congressman goldman would consider a legitimate priority for committee to look at. the potential possible cover up reported by the "new york times" last month by former attorney bill barr's investigation of the investigators. that at one point turned into an unrelated internal investigation of potential crimes committed by donald trump. joining the table is democratic congressman from new york

. >> in a tense exchange democratic congressman dan goldman of new york who serve as lead counsel in former president trump's impeachment trial pressed jordan on his claim staffers spoke on whistle-blower claims against the doj. >> with that the chair now recognized -- >> mr. chairman, could i have a point of order? there's been a lot of mention of information and testimony that you all have received from whistle blowers. when are you planning on providing that to the minority? >> you could have been for the very first deposition or transcribed interview of the whistle-blower. i was there when he testified on tuesday. >> that's fine. you talk about dozens of whistle-blowers. when are we going to get that information? >> when they testify when we work with -- i'll work with the ranking member on that -- >> you don't have any transcriptions of their interviews? >> we have the first ones and we have the dozens who come and talk to our office. >> chairman jordan said the subcommittee will hear more hearings in the future. the committee was forced to submit its final report by january 202

you have dan goldman, another fixture of the impeachment hearings for donald trump. he was the lead counsel during the first trump impeachment trial. and aoc, i mean, one of the best communicators for democrats. she's going to be really taking a lead role in pushing back against the right. >> sounds like you are going to be very busy, elena. thank you so much. i'm so glad you're here joining us at cnn. >> thank you, kaitlan. >>> next hour, we'll talk more about this with the republican whip, tom elmer, and the chair of the judiciary committee, dick durbin. >>> this morning, ice storm and warnings for them are expanding all across the state of texas. this is as the extreme weather there wreaks havoc on roads. the national weather service is urging everyone in the warning areas to avoid driving, if possible. so far, two people have already died in accidents as sleet piled on top of ice and cars were backed up at least ten miles down this texas highway, as jack knifed semi trucks blocked both lanes of traffic. a similar scene in oklahoma, where icy roads caused this tru

dan goldman is also a new member of congress, but he's not new to washington. listen to what he said earlier today about, yes, she has said things that offend me and more, but. >> look, as a proud new jew, i'm not thrilled about the anti-semitic comments that she and many others have made. but this is just clear retribution that kevin mccarthy agreed to in order to become speaker of the house. everyone will have their views on what this is. but it also comes in the very early days of this new congress and new divided government. the speaker just met with the president yesterday. they both emerged saying we're going to try to have a respectful conversation even though we disagree completely. but how will someone like this affect the tone? the democrats and the republicans are already -- the gap of trust, the gap of respect is pretty wide. does this make it worse? >> i don't think it makes things better. and i think the difference between someone like ilhan omar and her comments and marjorie taylor greene like we discussed and what she has said, ilhan omar has sh

the daily beast said that you and dan goldman are a duo trying to, quote unquote, bully him, this is how they put, it out of congress. they also noted you visited the long island district with a press conference demanding his resignation. you said to them this, i will admit, i am obsessed with holding him accountable and expelling him from congress. that is not to mention also 60 tweets or so about santos as well. why are you so obsessed, using your terminology, and making sure he's expelled from congress? >> united states is a country of 330 million people. 330 million. only 535 people have the honor of serving in the united states congress. a charlatan, a crack pot, a clown, like george santos has no business being a member of congress. even though george santos has an ever changing life story and identity, ever-changing names, the only constant in these life has been fraught. he is defrauded wherever he's gone, whether it's the small businessman in brazil, amish breeders and pennsylvania, most importantly, the voters of new york state. he's defrauded his way into the united states

. >> well my colleague bobby garcia from california is leading a coalition of members including dan goldmanon to expel george santos. senator mitt romney spoke for the majority of americans, he spoke for democrats and republicans when he denounced george santos as a sick puppy. there's something sick about a man who lies about struggling with brain cancer, who lies about his mother dying on 9/11. who lies about his employees dying in a shooting. lies about his ancestors surviving the holocaust. he has defrauded the voters of new york state, it's time for him to be held accountable. >> speaker mccarthy of course is still sticking by santos saying he's waiting for the ethics committee. he's refused to call for him to step down, despite the many lies you reference some of them, right, that have been uncovered over the past several weeks. many of these are just simply lies, right? they're absolute lies, separate from other investigations that are now ongoing into whether there's real legal culpability on other things. do you think santos is in congress to stay at this point if mccarthy doesn't

there was a portion of this hearing, the dan goldman participated in, he is my freshman classmate, but of the things that he brought out was just a great understanding of how things are supposed to work, and he is not afraid to go after the chairman and call him out when he is not abiding by procedure. and he is simply just throwing things out there, he just wanted to throw things out there and say, oh, well you guys understand that there is dozens of people that have come to us from the fbi. we have talked to them, yet there is no evidence of any note, there is no depositions, there is no nothing that has been turned over to the democrats. we know that this is just yet another extension of the maga agenda to seemingly confuse americans and rile them up with lies. >> the house oversight committee, congressman, also held a hearing this week, on what republicans say was twitter's role in allegedly suppressing news about hunter biden's laptop. the hearing backfired spectacularly on republicans when we learned this information, take a listen. >> what was a tweet about? >> would you like me

. >> dan goldman and jim jordan sparring there. give me your thoughts on that reaction.ere is this republican-led investigation, is already falling flat? is the gop goal just to further road trust in the government? >> yes, yes, and there is a sinister goal here, which is to discredit the chief law enforcement agency of the federal government, of justice, and one of the premier subsets, the fbi, so that they're bringing indictments against insurrectionists. they are pursuing investigations of prominent trump officials, and maybe even trump himself, they're delegitimized because they're delegitimized. let's believable here. they did not get far. they did not get very far. and that exchange you just saw, it really is jim jordan resorting to him mccarthy-like tactics. remember, joe mccarthy would say, i have a list here, i'm not gonna show it to you. hundreds of state department officials who are compromised or communist sympathizers, or who are actually engaged in undermining the u.s. government. he got away with that for years without ever showing us the names. he didn't

apparently nothing that congress can do about it, and so there is legislation, ritchie torres, dan goldmanorward various pieces of legislation to ensure that something like this cannot happen again without consequence. >> thank you so much, simone, and dasha. we have to go to breaking news now because we have secretary of state antony blinken with the nato secretary. they're talking about the balloon from china. >> we're analyzing them to learn more about the surveillance program. we'll pair that with what we learned from the balloon itself with what we gleaned based on our careful observation of the system, when it was in our airspace, as the president directed his team to do. we'll also share relevant findings with congress as well as with our allies and partners around the world. senior administration officials are on the hill this week, and we shared information with dozens of countries around the world, both from washington and through our embassies. we're doing so because the united states was not the only target of this broader program. which has violated the sovereignty of countrie

specifically i loved jamie raskin, dan goldman. if you haven't watched it, go watch it. the fbi never told them to not publish the new york post story. the fbi never mentioned hunter biden's name. the fbi never mentioned hunter biden's laptop. what they were supposed to do after they found the report concluded russia was using social media for disinformation and that they concluded they showed in the future watch out for that and that's what the fbi did. they generally put out watch out for russian disinformation. that was all the policy of a private company called twitter. go back and watch raskin, goldman. they summed it up completely. just one quick thing on marjorie taylor greene. she must have forgotten she was part of the republican select committee who put out a budget in 2023 called the blueprint to save america. it cut medicare and social security. host: marjorie taylor greene part of the oversight committee yesterday on capitol hill. congresswoman -- you didn't mention alexandria ocasio-cortez. let showing moment from her and the twitter executive. >> that is w

new york just elected dan goldman, another safety champion. and we keep adding to the number.did pass tom incense gun safety early this year and it is going to help reduce the gun violence death rate. but we have more to do. i am realistic. i understand what is happening right now in this harris, with this version of this republican party, and i'm also optimistic that because they are showing on america who they are, we will get rid of them in the next two years. >> they may get you something a little closer to home. washington post reported that governor ron desantis reelection campaign handguns banned from the victory celebration in tampa. it also suggested that the city take responsibility for the firearms ban instead of the governor. mr. guttenberg, what you make of the democracy? >> that's around desantis's. that's what i make of it. ron desantis is a guy who loves to amp people up, with bs. as long as it won't apply to him. listen, he. understands how dangerous and deadly guns are. he was on the backs of the parkland families. we were there with. tim he gets. he understa

shocking revelations congressman dan goldman point to, possibly misconduct, abuse of power, ethical transgressionsernational unrelated secret criminal investigation of potential crimes committed by donald trump himself. from their letter to the justice department's inspector general, rather than vindicate former president trump, the durham investigation instead resulted in two failed political prosecutions. two career prosecutors resigning in protest and abuse of the grand jury process, an attempt to suppress a part of your lengthy and detailed report, and a misleading narrative presented to the american people that hid an allegation of a financial crime committed by the former president. joint joining us is charlie savage, msnbc contributor. one of the reporters whose byline is on that extraordinary piece of journalism in "the new york times" about the durham investigation. john and rick are still here. charlie, i know that the journal u. stands on its own. it is its own point. but when the investigative journalism leads to an effort by congress to investigate something like this, it's clear that

recent calls by congressman dan goldman, that was him there, of new york and ted lieu of california meanicial request on the table to investigate the investigation of the investigation. members of the house oversight and judiciary committees respectively, goldman and lieu are asking doj's inspector general, that would be michael horwitz, to examine possible misconduct by special counsel john durham during his probe into the origins of the russia investigation. goldman and lieu's letter to mr. horowitz was prompted by that blockbuster reporting in the "new york times" which we've covered here. it uncovered through a months-long review this. "the main thrust of the durham inquiry was marked by some of the very same flaws including a strained justification for opening it and its role in fueling partisan conspiracy theories that would never be charged in court but trump allies claim characterized the russia investigation." "new york times" investigation found that bill barr and mr. durham never revealed that their inquiry had expanded to include a criminal probe into possible financial crime
